Create a factorable polynomial with a GCF of 3x. Rewrite that polynomial in two other equivalent forms. Explain how each form was created.

Question
Answer:
he GCF is the greatest common factor of 2 or more numbers or polynomials.Start with the factors: x, x + 1, x - 2Β Now multiply them together.x(x+1)(xβˆ’2)=(x2+x)(xβˆ’2)=x3βˆ’2x2+x2βˆ’2x=x3βˆ’x2βˆ’2xOur polynomial is: x3βˆ’x2βˆ’2xSince we created our own polynomial from factors, now we know that this polynomial factors asx3βˆ’x2βˆ’2x=x(x+1)(xβˆ’2)You can combine x with x + 1, and later x with x - 2, and have two other forms of the polynomial: x3βˆ’x2βˆ’2x=(x2+x)(xβˆ’2)x3βˆ’x2βˆ’2x=(x2βˆ’2x)(x+1)
